Chapter 7 There is no trace of it
Gu Yue followed Xu Qing into the bamboo house, and the house was in a mess. All the furniture was shattered, and pieces of bamboo and wood were scattered all over the ground. There were large blood stains on the walls and floor, but there was no one in the room.
"Uncle Xu, how are your parents?" asked Gu Yue a little anxiously.
"I don't know, they won't be defeated so easily, the battle here doesn't look too intense, with their ability they should be able to handle it. Xu Qing explained.
"But we've been here for so long, why haven't we seen them?" Gu Yue said suspiciously.
"Let's go and look for it in the back, maybe we can get some clues. Xu Qing said and led the way through the bamboo house and into the backyard through the side door.
The backyard is very different from the front, the front scene shows a large number of people fighting there, while the backyard is unusually calm and clean as if no one has ever visited. Everything is well organized, showing the plain neatness of the owner.
The two walked into a room in the backyard, this is a bedroom, the furnishings in it are still the same, they haven't changed at all, Gu Yue looked at this house where he has lived with his parents since he was a child, and tears couldn't help but flow down again.
"It seems that the matter is serious. Xu Qing was not relieved by the cleanliness here, on the contrary, his worries were more obvious, and he said with a solemn expression.
"What's the matter, Uncle Xu, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong here, are your parents okay?" asked Gu Yue with a hopeful face.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Xu Qing said solemnly. "Look closely at what's missing in this room. ”
"What's missing? Mom and Dad are missing!" Gu Yue looked at the inside of the room puzzled, looking back and forth at everything in the room, trying to compare the pictures he remembered when he was a child with this place, and find out what Uncle Xu said was missing.
"Ahh After looking at it for a while, Gu Yue suddenly found out. He remembers that when he was a child, there was a black guqin hanging on the wall next to his bed. When Gu Yue was still young, he asked his mother what it was for at the bedside here, and he still remembered that his mother's answer at that time was, "This is the dowry that my mother brought when she married your father."
Gu Yue asked his mother to perform for him at that time, but his mother did not agree, but said to him: "This is not a performance, this has a special function, when my Xiaoyue grows up, my mother will give it to you and teach you how to use it." In this way, it can always be by your side instead of your mother in the future. ”
"I don't want it, I want my mother to be with me all the time, I want to be with my mother forever. Xiao Gu Yue said to her mother with her chubby cheeks at the time.
"Hehe, the stupid child's mother can't be by your side all the time. Gu Yue still remembers that the smile on her mother's face at that time was very gentle and beautiful.
Thinking back to what happened when he was a child, his mother's gentle figure appeared in Gu Yue's mind again, making him sob, standing in place and whispering, "Mom, I'm sorry." ”
Xu Qing walked over and gently hugged Gu Yue's shoulders and comforted him: "Don't be sad, I haven't found them now, maybe it means that they are fine, let's go look elsewhere." ”
Although Xu Qing comforted Gu Yue, he knew in his heart that this time he was afraid that there would be more and less luck, and it seemed that the strength of the person who came was very strong, so that the junior sister actually used "Qingxuan". He couldn't bear to hit Gu Yue too much, but he still wanted to try to see if he could find optimistic clues.
The two then walked around the entire island, and found no traces, but there were strong traces of battle in some places, large areas of land and rocks, flowers and trees were beaten to pieces, and even a whole mountain forest scorched earth appeared behind the back of the island.
The two of them who returned to the shore again were in a heavy mood, and after seeing these scenes, both of them fell to the bottom. What a spectacular battle scene that had taken place here, and it was impossible for his parents to be safe and sound under such a struggle, Gu Yue had already felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
"Don't be discouraged, let's look again. Maybe I missed something. Xu Qing saw that Gu Yue was in a bad mood, and hurriedly comforted him.
"Uncle Xu, don't comfort me, we searched so carefully just now, every piece of land on the island has been searched, and I know very well what the result is, but I don't want to believe this fact. Actually, I understand. Gu Yue said dejectedly.
"No, there's another place we haven't looked for. Xu Qing suddenly said firmly.
"Where?" Gu Yue's heart was a little excited, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Dragon Cave!" Xu Qing said.
"There? Isn't that the place where you made a mistake and was locked up, where there's nothing, you won't find anything. Gu Yue's newfound hope fell again.
"You don't understand, the Dragon Cave is not as simple as you think, everything on this island is related to the Dragon Cave, if you really haven't found anything, there may be an answer for us. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the Dragon Cave first, and Gu Yue hurriedly followed when he saw this.
The two of them came to the place where they were back then, and entered the Dragon Cave with ease, the difference is that this time Gu Yue didn't need Xu Qing to take him in, and now he can enter and exit the underground waterways of the Dragon Cave with his own ability.
Coming out of that waterhole again, this is the second time Gu Yue has entered this place in so many years. He was still young when he first came in, and he just wanted to get out of here, so he didn't look at the place closely.
Now Gu Yue came out of the waterhole and looked at the place again. I saw that this was a stone chamber with a diameter of about 10 meters, and the top of the stone chamber was a vault-shaped semicircle. It is surrounded by stone walls, and there is no gate or intersection. Gu Yue remembered that Xu Qing had taken him through a passage for a long time, but now he hadn't found the passage, so he thought it should be some kind of secret door.
Xu Qing came to a place in the corner of the stone room, squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground, twisting vigorously. I saw that a small stone slab was cut open, and a cylindrical stone leaked out underneath, and there was a chrysanthemum petal-like decoration on the top of the stone, and Xu Qing grabbed the petals on it with his hand and turned it three times left and right. I only heard a loud rumbling sound, and there was a huge vibration in the stone room, Gu Yue was a little unsteady, and hurriedly held on to the wall next to him, and waited until the shaking had passed and stabilized. Gu Yue was surprised to find that three more doors suddenly appeared on the wall opposite the stone room, and there were three passages leading to the pitch-black depths.
"Uncle Xu, is this?" Gu Yue asked Xu Qing in surprise.
"This is the true face of the Dragon Cave, I have opened all the secret doors, let's look through the passages, we must find something here, your parents will definitely leave us something here no matter what happens." Let's go and have a look. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he took Gu Yue to the leftmost passage first.
